Harriet Tubman Wall Art

Who is Harriet Tubman? Harriet Tubman was born into northern slavery in Maryland in 1822 and her sense of independence led her to escape. She also helped seventy friends and family escape from slavery as well. She worked with the ‘Underground Railroad’ which included hidden routes and homes to let escaped slaves move from location to location, offering them food, shelter and clothes as they headed to freedom. Tubman played a major role in the abolitionist movement to allow black Americans their freedom. She was given the title of ‘Conductor’ of the Underground Railroad and was so successful that many called her ‘General Tubman’ as well as ‘Moses’ for her leadership qualities. Harriet helped in the Civil War effort as cook and a nurse and helped by being an armed scout and spy for the Northern troops. Tubman was the first woman to be the leader of an armed expedition and she led a group in the Combahee River Raid which freed over 700 South Carolina slaves. ———————- Harriet Tubman Quotes Art Print This illustrative art quote is from my “Badass Women” series art prints.
